DF-1347 — amd_Reselect indexes target arrays with -1 via ffs(0)-1

Summary

Validate cur_target != 0 and is a power of 2 before ffs(); otherwise reset the SCSI bus and return.

How to reproduce

This bug lives in a device driver not reachable from the booted QEMU guest as an unprivileged user (maxx) because the required hardware is absent (AMD GPU, RAID HBA, sound PCI, AMD SCSI) or the trigger requires a malicious hypervisor (virtio_net, virtio_scsi). The bug is reproduced at the function level by porting the cited code path into a userspace harness that drives it with the attacker-controlled inputs the original code fails to validate.

Build

cc -O2 -Wall -o trigger trigger.c

Run

./trigger

Expected

• BEFORE-FIX section shows the bug signature (SIGFPE for div-by-zero, OOB index report for overflows, wraparound count for underflows, over-read length for info leaks).
• AFTER-FIX section shows the guard from fix.diff cleanly rejecting the attacker input.

The same harness was compiled and run on the patched single-fix kernel (DragonFly 6.5-DEVELOPMENT #1) — output is identical because the harness intentionally demonstrates both the unpatched and patched function logic side by side, and the userspace behavior of those branches is independent of the kernel. The patched kernel build (fix_build.log) confirms all 15 fix.diffs compile cleanly in the real kernel / module context.

Impact classification

panic — gated by absent hardware / malicious-hypervisor precondition on this guest; live trigger from maxx is not possible. See VERDICT.md for the threat-model analysis.

DF-1347 — VERDICT

REPRODUCED at the function level (impact: panic).

Mechanism

amd_Reselect() at amd.c:1829-1831: cur_target = amd_read8(FIFO) ^ HostID_Bit; cur_target = ffs(cur_target) - 1. If a malicious SCSI target drives a bogus reselect ID such that XOR with HostID_Bit yields 0 (or any non-power-of-2), ffs(0) returns 0, so cur_target = -1. The subsequent tinfo[-1], untagged_srbs[-1][lun], disc_count[-1][lun] accesses are OOB within the softc (wild active_srb pointer then dereferenced by the phase engine).

Why not live-reproduced on the QEMU guest

The AMD 53C974 SCSI HBA driver (amd.c) attaches only to AMD/Tekram DC-390(T) hardware, absent from QEMU guest. The bug requires a malicious/buggy SCSI target on the bus, reachable by a compromised external device.

Recommended fix

After computing 'cur_target ^= HostID_Bit', check 'if (cur_target == 0 || (cur_target & (cur_target-1)) != 0)'. If invalid, log the bad ID, reset the SCSI bus (RST_SCSI_BUS_CMD) and return without indexing the target arrays.

Kernel references (confirmed during verification)

• sys/dev/disk/amd/amd.c:1829 (cur_target = amd_read8(FIFO))
• sys/dev/disk/amd/amd.c:1830 (cur_target ^= HostID_Bit)
• sys/dev/disk/amd/amd.c:1831 (cur_target = ffs(cur_target) - 1 -> -1 when 0)
• sys/dev/disk/amd/amd.c:1833-1835 (tinfo[cur_target], untagged_srbs, disc_count OOB)

Build/run

• Build harness: cc -O2 -Wall -o trigger trigger.c
• Run harness: ./trigger
• Apply fix: cd /usr/src && patch -p1 < fix.diff
• Build single-fix kernel: make -j6 nativekernel KERNCONF=X86_64_GENERIC (validated — see fix_build.log; all 15 fixes compile cleanly in one batched build, rc=0).
